CouesPursuit Report post Posted February 26, 2019 I heard about this on NPR yesterday. They, of course, did not include any of the information on bullet points 2 & 3. The only thing advertised was mandatory background checks. Mandating UNIVERSAL background checks BANNING all private gun sales Creating a federal registry of ALL U.S. Gun Owners Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azphil Report post Posted February 28, 2019 I believe the bill passed in the House because of the Dem majority- best bet to stop it is contact our senators when it arrives in the Senate- All hunters and shooters NEED to join and support our gun rights groups. The dem/progs are taking our liberties one piece at a time- 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like our Union President told us one year, membership & participation count. Simple and cheap just be a member and give $10 a year to NRA-ILA. High rates of participation in PAC donations by membership counts a lot with politicians and does not matter how much you gave just that you did. NRA or another 2A rights group gets more clout if they can say "100% of membership gave $ to our PAC". One thing politicians respect is $. whatever your beef with NRA they are still a big player in the 2A rights arena. Heck also join and donate $ to a second 2A group kinda like voting twice. Always Always be a HAPPY WARRIOR for your RIGHTS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trphyhntr Report post Posted February 28, 2019 Idk been reading a lot of stuff about how the nra doesn’t fight very hard for our rights. Did they do anything about bumpstocks, have they ever brought a suit against the NFA 1934 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10Turkeys Report post Posted February 28, 2019 Before I put my two cents in this I'll say that I'm a life member of the NRA, life member of the Arizona, California, and Texas State rifle and pistol Association. When you join the NRA your membership money goes to training, education and range work, for your money to go to any political cause it has to go to the ILA. Here is my stance, that those slippery oily, weasily scumbag politicians waste enough of my money as a taxpayer, I'm not going to give the ILA or anyone else my hard earned money to stuff into some politicians pocket, so they can waste more of it!

Allforelk Report post Posted February 28, 2019 This House Bill is terrifying in what it is hiding. Like Coues Pursuit said, those other bullet points are the real scary ones. It would technically make me a felon if I loaned my rifle to my brother for a hunt and make him a felon for taking it. We would both need to pass a federal background check before I could legally loan him a gun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The same Democrats that voted for this bill dont want law enforcement to be notified when an illegal immigrate tries to buy a gun.

I'm not happy with any organisation that is going to take my money and stuff into some politicians pocket to get them to vote they way they want them to. I know that's the way it works now, but I want no part of it. The bill was brought up in the house, still has to go through the Republican controlled Senate, then if it passes there it ends up on Trump's desk. The NRA stuffed 30 million into Trump's campaign in 2016, more than the last two elections, so there has to be a payback somewhere. Within the last year the President of the NRA, Pete Brownell has stepped down and Tom Selleck has resigned his spot on the board, something is up. They don't bother asking me for money anymore, but my wife who is a fairly new member, has had her phone blowing up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you feel your right to own an AR with a 30round mag was diminished because you can't get a bumpstock? Are bumpstocks accuracy or long range enhancers? To me they re a gimmick pointless to ban and not worth trading political capitol to fight for. Maybe more jawboning about how it was a gimmick that did not make anything more dangerous and that ANTIS were just show boating. I do not feel our 2A rights were in anyway diminished by this silly ban. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
